Iron Man
The tone that invented heavy metal. Tony Iommi's SG through a cranked Laney produces a thick, grinding, dark distortion that is the foundation of doom and heavy metal. The Rangemaster treble booster pushes the Laney into heavy saturation while maintaining note definition. Iommi's prosthetic fingertips and light string gauge contribute to a slightly looser, more aggressive attack.
